Focusing on Virginia Woolf and her circle, past and present

A fresh new take on Woolf dust jackets

Artist McKenna Kemp has designed clean, fresh book jackets for three of Virginia Woolf’s stream of consciousness novels.

The white jackets feature simple typography. Their graphics — in yellow, grey and green — highlight the interior narrative aspect of the novels, as well as the focus of each. The artist says her covers for Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and The Waves also recognize the much earlier dust jacket designs by Vanessa Bell.

Kemp designed the jackets last April as a creative, rather than a commercial, project.
